Art and Sole is goin’ down at 9PM tomorrow night (Oct 3rd) here in Vancouver, at El Kartel. A ton of amazing artists re-worked PF Flyers shoes and El Kartel is gonna host a silent auction! I have a shoe in the show and will be hangin’ around so please come say hello!

I went down to Livestock for the Smile On Your Brother show last night and snapped some photos. It’s up for two more nights – so you better catch it while you can. If you see a board you want, you can contact Annie or Mike here and place a bid. The auction closes near the end of October.

Little Paper Planes presents, Buddy System! If you live in SF, get down to Rare Device (1845 Market St.) at 7pm tonight, for the opening! Four artists were selected and then each of them had to invite a buddy to be a part of the show as well. The eight artists showing are: Caitlin Gallupe + Bridget Moser, Claire Grill + Aline Cautis, David Wilson + Nathaniel Russell, Jess Wheaton + Matt Momchilov.

Night Vision went down Friday night at Strathcona Park and several hundred people showed up to listen to music, chill out, and enjoy some photography. There was a little incident with the sprinklers but there’s nothing like a group shower to spice up a party! Huge props to Natasha Lands and Jennilee Marigomen for making it all happen!

The first three shots are courtesy of Julian Hecht, and I shot the last two from my blanket!

My friend Meighan O’toole, of My Love For You fame, is curating her first physical art exhibition! Essentially the show is a collection of her favourite work from many of the artists she’s posted about during the past two years. This is something I would love to do at some point and I am so excited for her! Way to go Meighan! The show is called You’ve Got Light in Your Eyes and it opens May 2nd 2009 at San Francisco’s Needles & Pens Gallery. If you are familiar with her blog, you know it will be amazing!

Porous Walker wrote me a nice message notifying me that he had arranged for a horse and buggy to pick me up from Vancouver to come to his show in SF haha. FecalFace just posted some preview photos of Me Vs. Me which opens Saturday April 4, 2009 at Receiver Gallery (San Francisco).

Under The Influence is an all Beastie Boys inspired artshow currently showing at Gallery 1988 (7020 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles) until January 29th! If you don’t live in the area, head over here for a taste of the glory! I especially dig these first two, by Andrew Hem.

Internationally acclaimed photographer and hometown hero, Jeff Wall, is currently showing at the VAGuntil January 25th. This is the first solo exhibition of Wall’s work in Vancouver since 1990 (surprising) so all you Vancouverites better get out there!
